Guys,
Before i give you my options.
Below are my requirements.
Plan to keep the car for atleast 5 years.
If i plan to keep a car for 5 years, should i really worry about the resale value ?
Good interiors. As i will be spending quiet some time in there.
FE..not really, but would definitely be an added advantage.
I drive around 50 KM's everyday, through the attrocious Traffic in Hosur Road.
Mostly driven in city in bad traffic.

My Budget is upto 10 Lakhs (This is stretching it!!)...what car to Buy.

i10
----
I would take this but my Fiance does not like it. Still trying to convince her.

Getz
------
Really like it
Looks
Interior
Hyundai A.S.S

Reason dont wanna buy, no Airbags.
Can someone comment about the FE or resale.

Swift
-----
Looks (dont like it a lot)
Handling
Maruti A.S.S
I dont like the interiors. I am not gonna take the Swift.
But sure is a VFM

Verna
-----
Dont like the looks

Ford Fiesta
------------
Ford A.S.S scares me.
And i am kinda disappointed with American cars, as i have driven quite a few of them and they dont live upto the Japs or European cars.

Honda City
---------
Absolutely love the looks of the car. (Subjective!!)
Interiors are top notch.
Scary parts are GXi doesnt come with ABS or Airbags.
Vtec Plus has the ABS and Airbags though.

Ridiculously Overpriced!!!

Cedia
------
Absolutely love this car.
A bit outdated, and resale value scares me.
If i plan to keep the car for 5 years, will the resale value hurt me a lot?

Toyota Innova
---------------
G4 D does not have ABS or Airbags.
Can some one comment on how safe Innova is without the ABS or Airbags?
MS users reviews say the car's breaking is really bad.

Simply put i would like to say that i want a car that is first of all safe and has good interiors.
Mostly driven in the city, in really bad traffic, i am not a very enthusiastic driver, but a part of me is. But i would take safety instead of the fun factor, cause my parents and my wife would be with me.

Any inputs from you guys, which would meet my requirements, will be greatly helpful.

Thanks!!
